Idle Switched Output
A switched output can be set to Idle to turn on whenever Idle mode is entered. This is useful for electronic governors that have
an idle input to tell the governor to run the engine at idle speed. Note that the switched outputs are meant to drive relays so a
relay must be installed to do the logic to the governor.
